Top 5 batsmen in world cricket right now

2. Kane Williamson

Kane is an eye-pleaser.

One of the best and calmest captains in world cricket at the moment. He is the fulcrum of the New Zealand batsman and is an excellent batsman across all the three formats.

Williamson is usually at his best when it comes to Tests. In ODIs, he scores at a good strike rate and can accelerate as and when the situation demands him to. Many cricket pundits doubted his T20 skills but he proved them all wrong.

Williamson won the orange cap in this year's IPL and led SRH to the finals of the biggest domestic T20 tournament. He scored his runs at a strike rate of more than 140 and that shows what impact he had in the tournament. He can truly succeed as a batsman anywhere in the world.

Kane is a world-class leader, an even better batsman and more importantly, a true gentleman of this wonderful game.
